The gun epidemic is the leading cause of death of young African- American men, more than the next nine causes put together. So we have to do two things, as I said. We have to restore trust. We have to work with the police. We have to make sure they respect the communities and the communities respect them.

We have to do immigration reform while the pro-deportation crew is still reeling.

I don't in any way underestimate the difficulties, because it's only gotten harder. But I do think you just have to go into politics with the attitude that you're going to speak clearly and authentically about what you see the country needs...and seek out whatever possible partners you can, even in the other party. I've looked at successful presidents going back. Some of our most successful governed through periods when their party was in charge, and when the other party was in charge. There's no magic formula.

I'm proud to be a woman running for president.

Cutting taxes even more on the wealthy and corporations, that's not going to help anybody except the wealthy and corporations.

The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks about the next election while the statesman think about the next generation

In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.
